"The mindset that the natural world is ours to destroy and profit from needs to change. With deforestation encroaching on many important habitats around the world, we need to ask ourselves if our consumption is worth more than these animals' existence. The natural world has been pushed aside by expanding agricultural and urban areas, leaving barely any room for wildlife. Protecting small areas is no longer enough - we need to rewild and give land back to nature."

"I want a world where education empowers girls and women and ends sexist behavior and practices. In this photo, children are seen playing football, while a girl is left alone to play on the other side of the pitch. I see this as the beginning of marginalization that may have unintended and lasting consequences."

Latoya Fitoor, United Kingdom

"I want a world where mental health is taken as seriously as physical health. I portrayed the way I desire young people to slow down and take care of their mental health, to simply breathe.

Edward Aning Poakwah, Ghana
